The Longest Balloon Voyage.

Professor John Wise, world famed aronaut,
sailed through the air in july 1852 from St. Louis,
Missouri to Henderson, Jefferson county, New York
"A distance in straight line of SS5 miles He laid
claim to 1850 miles by reason of the many turns
taken during the trip, which took his balloon out
of direct course into circles and curves. This voy
age the longest on record in balloon history. The
balloon was in the air over nighta period of about
twenty hours Professor Wise tried more than once,
but without success to equal or exceed the famous
trim mentioned Finally few years ago, he left ST.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE.
The Biggest Statue.


EDITORS CONSTITUTION: Where is the larg-
est statue in the world? S.RS.
Near the small town of Bamian, in Afghanistan,
at the foot OF the Hindo Koosh chain of mountains,
several colossal statues were discovered about
year ago, which in point of size excel any resen-
tation OF the human form ever carved by the hand
of man. The valley in which Bamian is situated is
bordered by preciptous cliffs of hard conglomerae
rock, and in the side of one of the cliffs five i'm
mense statues have been cut out of the solid rock,
the largest of which is no less than hundred and
seventy-three feet in height. When it is remember
ed that the statue of liberty in New
York harbor is but a hundred land
thirtyseycn feet high, the immense pro-
portions Of this remarkable work OF antiquity will
be better appreciated Rude g llares and staircases
cut in these figures, by which access can be
gainedto the heads the same is i'll our modern col
ossal statues Some time after the completion of
the statue its draperies were formed by masses of
stueco nodded into their proper shape and faster Ell
to it. Numerous holes still visible said to have
been made for the purpose of holding the stucco in
place The general appearance Of these statues in
dicates that they were the work OF the Buddhist
monks who were very numerous in this region
about the time of the Christian era. The largest
at least was doubtless meant to be representa-
tian OF Buddha. They were probably made about
nineteen hundred years ago.

The Settlers In Arizona Territory in Terror
Again.

again.
NoGALEs, a. T, June 9.-The Indian
outbreaks in this territory are assuming
serious proportions. The widespread
depredations indicate that there are
many more than seventeen bucks, as at
first reported, on the warpath. Word
comes from w. E. Leek of Crittenden
that ne and two others were aroused yes
terday morning by several rife shots,
and found they were surrounded by hos
tile Indians. Mike Grace, one Of the
party, an old pioneer and prominent
citizen Of Arizona, was killed The other
two made their escape, pursued by the
ssVages through the canyon. The people
of Crittenden appealed TO the station
agent at Nogales "fOr Gods sake send US
aid" The soldiers in charge of
Captain Lee were sent Immediately.
A portion of the command under Lieu
tenent McNutt is upon the trail of the
hostiles. a courier reports that he ran
into party of Indians and the troops are
now chasing them ever the nils. The
Indians seemed to be making for the
Patagonia mountains, and il is quite evil
dent that the hostiles intend TO reach the
Sierra Madre mountains. A telegram
from Colabasas says the Indians fired
upon McCullock's ranch and are on their
way south. Juan Cenochio, commandant
of Magddlena, Mex, has twenty-five
mounted men, who leave to-day to try to
intercept the Indians ST the principal
passes along the international line. All
the settlers have been notified by Gov
crnor Torres that the Indians sre out.

hours spent in Portland was sufficient to
tell one that Portland was not the rival of
San Francisco. 1t did not seem to have
the thrift, the hustle about it as is usual
with most western towns. The seven
hours ride over the Northern Pacific Rail
way from Portland TO Tacoma, w II was
the most pleasant we had experienced in
all our trip. Beautiful valleys, with
streams transparent as pure crystal flow
ing through them; dense forests of fir,
redwood, cottonwood and poplar; lofty
mountains, lifting their snow-capped
peaks more than IA, 900 feet above the sea
level. Especially was our attention
called TO Mount Reiuier, whose base is
more than 100 miles in circumference,
nearly three miles in height; its sides
turrowed with mighty glaciers;
its summit bathed in eternal
SHOWS, and standing as Gods
sentinel between heaven and earth.
Tacoma was reached about dusk Satur-
day evening. This is beautiful little
city of 10, 900 souls, situated on beauti-
ful sound, among beautiful hills, and in
plain view of some of the loftiest peaks
Of the Rockies, whose scenery is so grand,
so sublime, IS to bear the impression that
they, too, are beautiful.
But il is not the scenery that gives life
and stability TO the country. These are
due to its natural facilities, and to its
commonwealth. OF these | may perhaps
write in the future. g. M. S.

EUFAULA, I. T., June 9.-The Inter
national Council which has been in ses-
sion for the past four days adjourned to-
day to reconvene at Fort Gibson, Caero-
kee Nation, May 2, 1888. Nineteen tribes
or nations of Indians were represented
here, viz: Cherokee, Creek, CD"ctaw,
Chickasaw, Seminole, Shawnee, E"echi,
Kiowa, COmanche, Waco, Caddo, Wich-
tia, Delaware, Jones, Usage, Sac and
Fox, Iowa, Klckapoos and Seneca. The
entire proceedings were conducted
with the greatest harmony and good
feeling. Among the most imp3I tant
proceedings was the adoption Of memo
rial to the President of the United s .ates,
presenting to him the unprepared CJndi-
ton of the western tribes for the enforce
ment of the land in severalty law, and
begging him earnestly to stay its eXecu-
ton till the tribes become better fitted to
assume the changes proposed, or ct least
to give them time to pIace the question
before the proper jud 5ial Tribunals and
to hear their decision u to the validity of
the law; also q resolution requestiD5 the
delegates at Washington to urge upon the
aullOTlIiES SOEue PROVISION WHEREBY InAL-
tiers of difference between the govern
ment and the Indian Nation can
be presented for judicial decision. A
strong resolution was adopted Unani-
mously protesting against Congress
granting rights of way TO railroads
through the Indian lands without seeking
or obtaining the consent of the Indians
thereto. A further resolution was pass
cd unanimously indorsing the Indian
Journal, published at Eufaula, l. T., and
adopting and recognizing it as the organ
through which the people of the Indian
tribes should present their wrongs and
their grievances to the people Ct the
whole country. One of the prominent
events of the meeting WAS an address by
Rev. Bishop c. B. Galloway of
the Methodist Episcopal church.
The entire western tribes
return to their home tomorrow, and all
leave with q deep impression of
Christianity and civilization and prepsr
ing to meet the advancement and en-
croachments of the white population.
